Job loss can be a major form of trauma. If you’re in shock, feeling untethered, or worried about your life situation, finances, etc. please reach out to a friend, family member, someone in the community, or a hotline/chat to connect and talk about it. Dialing 988 is a good place to start.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

Knowing the names of the an unelected oligarch’s underlings who are destroying the government from within is a crime now, apparently.

After American airspace was closed on 9/11, over 230 flights with 30,000 passengers and crew were diverted to Canadian airports. Transport Canada received thousands of calls from members of the public offering to help the stranded passengers. Thinking about that today, for no particular reason.

Very important from @alisonmgill.bsky.social: All federal employees need to understand the grievance process if you’re placed on administrative leave other otherwise targeted by the administration. There is a limited window for you to act, so please read this great guidance about how to proceed.

Best thing our allies can remember: if you stand up to Trump you intimidate him and he will back down. If you crawl to him (like his sycophantic politicians) he will not respect you and will eventually throw you under the bus.

It seems genuinely insane - and not at an ideological or partisan level - to make this man the head of the most powerful military on earth. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

This is almost such an obvious point, it feels slightly crazy to point it out, but a politician winning a national election does not mean that the criticisms of that politician were wrong. Nixon and Bush both go reelected and everything their most unsparing critics said about them was right.

As I like to say, there was also a peaceful end to the Second World War on the deck of the USS Missouri in Tokyo Harbor on September 2, 1945.

A great piece from @imillhiser.bsky.social explaining that Supreme Court's made up presidential immunity could apply to the New York case. The immunity is based on the whims of justices who are pro-Trump, so they can absolutely make up some new shit to help him again. www.vox.com/scotus/39405...

Reasons I Won’t Be Watching the Inauguration 1. I need to watch my houseplants grow; 2. I need to change the water filter in by Brita; 3. I need to do something Donald Trump wold never do, like, say, help others, by taking a shift at the food bank; and 4. I don’t celebrate lying rapists.

Once again, a very simple way for the Chief Justice & the other 5 Wizards In Robes to receive less criticism would be to stop completely ignoring the Constitution, the plain meaning of words, decades of legal precedent, the actual history of the Republic, & data/empirical evidence/statistics.

One doctor’s recommendation to deny a 43-year-woman coverage “contained errors on practically every aspect” of her condition, the Labor Department said in 2012. United and other insurers continued to hire the doctor over the next decade. propub.li/3BQjJ1e

Republicans are so accustomed to whining from the minority that when they’re actually in the majority and still can’t manage to pass a bill, their automatic reflex is to blame the Democrats. Republicans wanted the majority. They got it. Learn how to fucking govern.

The fact that I know more about Fani Willis’ and Nathan Wade’s relationship than I do about the crimes committed by Ginni Thomas and Clarence Thomas shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.
